About a month ago we finally ventured out to the Houston Children's Museum. Yes, its true we have lived here 4.5 years and this was our first visit. Shameful, I know. We have planned several trips but they all fell through for various reasons. It's too bad because this place was absolutely fantastic! We spent the entire day there and didn't even come close to doing everything. Needless to say we bought the family pass before the day was done. Thanks Andrea for planning it!
This was a huge robot that was made out of all kinds of old telephones and telephone parts.
Benjamin making phone calls...
You stick the balls in the bottom of the tube and it sucks them up. He was thoroughly fascinated.
They had an old mustang for the kids to play in. It had opened sides with glass paneling in places of it so you could see what was under the body and under the hood.
Ethan & Benjamin in the dot house. I think Ethan was ready to challenge Ben to a game of psychedelic twister. Ben mostly just stood there like "wowww...trippy".
Aurora was full of smiles and waves hello. She is Kristin's little girl.
Isn't she absolutely adorable? Her chubbs make me smile. I always wished I had chubby babies.
There is a city street in the museum which included a hands on restaurant, hospital, bank, grocery store, bike shop, police station, city hall etc. Here Ashira, Ben, Ethan & Miss Andrea have fun playing in the ambulance.
I think we spent over an hour in the grocery store alone. The kiddos loved it. This subsequently has communicated the wrong idea with the home pantry & real grocery store trips.
Two happy babes. Kristin & Aurora.
This picture is a little fuzzy. I was trying out different lenses & film on my iphone and this style just turned out this way. Ben & Ethan were pretty studly....so much so, this little lady just hopped right in the back of their convertible to go for a little ride & some nice conversation.
This was the coolest light bright. Even I had to play with it. We had such a fun day and definitely looking forward to more trips to the museum this year!

Jake says, "That place looks amazingly fun. I wish I could go there. Mostly 'cause of the grocery store and the main street. And that robot looks pretty cool too!"
Mike's mom and nana arrived yesterday and my parents come into town this afternoon, so lots of fun here. Have a happy halloween!
Your boys would LOVE this place. It really is the coolest children's museum I have ever seen. There are science & art centers everywhere. When you guys come here we should go. I can get in you in free with my family pass. At least that is how it was explained to me. :)
Girl! I can't believe you never visited... isn't it the bomb! I was sad to leave that museum, we didn't use up very much of our pass last year. I'm afraid to visit the one here for fear of huge disappointment. Ps, that Ben is getting cuter and cuter.
